I think the suggested cost of the simulator may be too high for most, and I'd think a lower cost package would be the better way to go and make it more accessible for the masses rather than the few. As already expressed by others for many customers they want on site training for their individual application, so you cannot expect a simulator to cover all of the training, but it would be a fantastic way of giving a sort of pre-training.
If it was me I'd package software, a seat frame, a pedal assembly and offer a number of different hydraulic controls, with the purchaser needing to invest in a PC and screen of their choosing. This would be a fraction of the price of the simulator you referred to and would be much more appealing to many dealers and training companies globally I think.
